Hello! I am coparenting... and hated having to ask my baby daddy to pay for my sons clothing, school supplies groceries etc bc I had to add everything up. So I fixed it! I

- upload reciepts/bankstatements (no uploads saved)

- in description say the kinds of things you want to add up, even some math (like split)

- tally adds it up

it splits the costs if you add in the word split in the description. perfect for people who need to split costs, like gas, daycare, etc. would love any feedback. totally free! one day i will add a paywall, is daycare is EXPENSIVE.

I understand you made the app because of your own needs as a someone in a co parenting situation, but you’d have a lot more luck by removing that from your pitch. I see on your website you’ve mentioned friends or roommates which is a much bigger market.

The service itself sounds very useful, Splitwise is good but requires all parties to use and respect the app

noted. I will change messaging. ty

We have been using splitwise https://www.splitwise.com/ for a better part of the decade to split costs. It’s also very useful when planning trips or group activities as it allows custom splits. Their phone app is extremely smooth too

Wow so cool. With tallyit.co you can split or compute an invoice (add margin). No account is required. good that you are getting value from that tho!

imo eventually, your service will need to add an account as well because if you're splitting costs, there will be questions like "Who paid for this last time?". "I paid xx ofr this not x". Where's the invoice for this.

How does tallyit handle disputes when you send an invoice to someone and they don't agree?

Route should absolutely be just /parents. The co is the tld.

coparenting is a thing. thats why they made the app.

I suspect you misunderstand my intent here.

Right now the url is site.co/coparenting.

That’s .co/coparenting

What I’m saying is this works too: .co/parenting

It’s just irrelevant linking linguistics that I’m pointing out that was a missed opportunity. Doesn’t truly matter though.

I'm sorry this is just sad.

Life is expensive right now bro.

I agree with the other comment, you should not pitch this, at least not with that enthusiastic tone. It carries an unintended message that you see the child as a burden rather than the most precious thing in your life.
